Installing/Removing the Oxygen Holder
WARNING
Contact your oxygen supplier for instructions in the use of oxygen. Extreme care
MUST be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits.
The Invacare oxygen holder is designed to be used in conjunction with oxygen
cylinder models MD15 and ME24 only.
To maintain safety, use only Invacare oxygen cylinder accessories (i.e. regulator,
oxygen demand devices).
DO NOT use the oxygen holder for anything other than its intended purpose of
supporting an oxygen cylinder - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT attempt to modify the oxygen holder to fit any other type of wheelchair.
The oxygen holder was designed specifically for Invacare wheelchairs only.
The installation of the oxygen holder onto the back of the wheelchair seat
significantly increases the length of the wheelchair. When turning the wheelchair it
is important to take note of this increased length - otherwise, injury or damage may
occur.
When using nasal or masked type administering equipment, oxygen or air tubing
MUST be routed and secured properly to ensure that the tubing does not become
entangled, kinked or severed. If necessary, loosen but DO NOT remove the
mounting knob.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 14.2.
NOTE: Reverse the following procedure to
remove the oxygen holder.
NOTE: The O
2
holder assembly can be
mounted on the RIGHT or LEFT side of the seat
back. Determine the appropriate side prior to
installation.
1. Remove the top and bottom mounting
screws and washers securing the upper
hinge to the seat. Retain screws to
install the O
2
holder.
2. Align the O
2
holder mounting holes
with the mounting holes in the upper
hinge and seat back as shown in

washers removed in STEP 1, secure the
